The Army Black Knights and Temple Owls meet Friday in week 4 college football action at Lincoln Financial Field. Here’s a Temple vs. Army Prediction. This article will include a Temple vs. Army Pick.
The Army Black Knights lost to USF, beat Bryant, and they play LA Tech next. Army has won 7 of its last 11 games. Cale Hellums is completing 68.4 percent of his passes for 150 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Samari Howard and Zach Mundell have combined for 109 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Tobi Olawole has 1 reception.
The Army Black Knights’ ground game is averaging 394 yards per contest, and Zach Mundell leads the way with 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensively, Army is allowing 15.5 points and 267 yards per game. Elijah Walton leads the Army Black Knights with 16 tackles, Dillon Stowers has 1 sack, and Zane Tallman has 2 pass deflections.
The Temple Owls lost to Penn State and Toledo, and they play USF next. Temple has lost 6 of its last 7 games. Ajani Sheppard is completing 52.6 percent of his passes for 297 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions. Colin Chase and Jayce Freeman have combined for 203 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, while JoJo Bermudez has 7 receptions.
The Temple Owls’ ground game is averaging 221.3 yards per contest, and Keveun Mason leads the way with 283 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensively, Temple is allowing 30 points and 414.7 yards per game. Curly Ordonez leads the Temple Owls with 32 tackles, Kevin Hornbeak Jr. has 1 sack, and Jamarcus Pierre has 1 interception.
Army has the clear edge with an extra week to prepare, and Temple still has major issues defensively and no passing attack whatsoever. However, this is a weird start time for a Friday game, and Temple is fresh off nearly upsetting Toledo on the road. Temple may not win many games, but it’s 3-0 ATS on the season and has shown progress despite the lack of results. Temple hung around somewhat with Penn State as well. We’re getting a hook on top of a key number. I’ll take a shot with Temple and the points.
